Muggers Steal Jewelry From Teen

January 30, 1986

KISSIMMEE — A 14-year-old Kissimmee boy was mugged late Tuesday by one or more thieves who grabbed $300 worth of jewelry.

Eric Pinellas was walking along the 900 block of King Street about 4 p.m. when he was attacked from behind and pushed to the ground with his arms pinned behind him, said Kissimmee Lt. John Sutphin. The boy, who is blind in one eye, told police he didn't see his attackers and did not know how many there were.

Sutphin said the robbers grabbed a 14-karat gold neck chain, a ring and a wrist watch, then fled on foot.
